The hotel is located in a small village outside of Wigan, offering a good base point for a concert, but not as convenient for access to major towns. While the rooms were initially disappointing with cleanliness issues and maintenance problems, the staff did not provide much assistance. The dining experience was subpar, with delays and limited choices. Despite these drawbacks, the price was considered affordable.
